After much thought and consultation with Plutarch, I have determined that in the fall of 481 B.C., Leonidas led his troops south across the plains of Larissa, spending two nights in the cliffs of Pharsala. He was enroute to Thermopylae where his Spartans fought the most decisive battle of the Second Invasion of Greece. Leonidas and his 300 Spartans died in that battle in the fall of 480 B.C. Therefore the leader's name Leonidas, begins with the letter "L", in greek, Lamba, represented by the greek letter on the front of Leonidas's shield (an inverted "V").
